Updates to rich snippets
Monday, April 16, 2012
Webmaster level: All
Today we’re announcing two updates to
rich snippets
.
First, we’re happy to announce that
product rich snippets
, which previously were only available in a limited set of locales, are supported globally. Users viewing your site’s results in Google search can now preview information about products available on your website, regardless of where they’re searching from. Here’s an example of a product rich snippet:

Second, we’ve updated the
rich snippets testing tool
to support HTML input. We heard from many users that they wanted to be able to test their HTML source without having to publish it to a web page. This is now supported by the tool, as shown below.

If you have any questions or feedback about these changes, please let us know in our
Help Forum
. You can find more information about rich snippets in our
Help Center
and
Webmaster Education
site.
